Wow! 3.5 years after trying to overturn a legitimate election through manipulation, lies and threats, this clown is getting into the Bible selling business. 

" Trump said. "Our Founding Fathers did a tremendous thing when they built America on Judeo-Christian values."

How were those values exclusive to "judeo christianity" and did this idiot read the 1st amendment? This country was founded much more on freedom of religion (per the comstitution) than Christianity. 

Screw the constitution though. It means nothing to the wingers.

MY JAW DROPS: 

"All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many. It's my favorite book," Trump said in a video posted on social media "It's a lot of peoples' favorite book."

"We have to bring Christianity back into our lives and into what will be again a great nation," Trump said

Is it true that Biden got his idea of ten percent for the big guy from the Bible?

Don't know what u mean. If you're talking about Hunter I don't really care. Looks like yet another right-wing deflection to me.

While the New Testament still has its ethical criticisms, the world would be better if there were true followers of just the second of its two greatest commandments.

1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. 
2. Love your neighbor as yourself.

In the New Testament, Christians are told to give what they decide in their hearts. The idea of giving 10% to the church comes from a different period in the Old Testament (Mosiac law), and some carry it forward in loose tradition.

If the 10% comment went over your head, you might not understand what the bible teaches.  I'm not blaming you because many self-proclaimed "Christians" behave in a way that turned me off of religion.  The NT and OT contain some of the best life guidance of any book created.  Don't get me wrong, there are also some terrible laws in the OT that are dated.  It is easy to fall into the trap that the bible is a waste of time but as a non-Christian, I'm telling you, even the OT is filled with wisdom, insights, and truths.  You may not believe in the NT miracles of Jesus... but to strive to be like him is a wonderful concept.

It is unclear if OP trolls or is misinformed.

Republicans often support a strict interpretation of the Constitution, emphasizing limited government, individual freedoms, and adherence to the original intent of the Founding Fathers. 

Democrats seem to change intent and focus on government intervention to address societal problems.

Modern day Republicans are certainly not the party of limited government and individual freedoms anymore

The same could be said of the modern Democrat party.

Maybe.  Republicans will tell you that government size is fine so long as it is focused on doing more efficiently and effectively what it can only do. Nobody is going to say the government shouldn't help those in need. However, the government is currently doing a poor job running things that it shouldn't be attempting to run.  

What informs your statement?

It would be great if the church of government limited itself to 10% of my toil.  Working until nearly noon every day for the church of government is getting very old very fast.

I do hope you realize you are engaging a non-person.

Jross alternates between making real and fake ('bot') postings.

Once you realize what he's doing, it becomes obvious.

At least it should become obvious.

This may be one of the most brain dead comments I've seen on here.  Canada’s Marxist prime minister, Justin Trudeau, is molesting his country.  Pierre Poilievre is your only hope of not turning into Cuba.

Not sure how this turned into R vs D again, but what is hilarious is that the OP is so scared of a book...how mentally weak do you have to be to be that afraid of a book.  And aren't these the type of people that scream against and yell about "book bans"??  Hypocrisy at it's finest!

I don't think anyone is afraid of it.

I just think it's funny that people suddenly think a guy who has cheated on each of his 3 wives and had to pay hush money to porn stars, on top of what he paid them, cheated on his pregnant wife, is somehow a moralistic person who is now selling a Bible, a book he has probably never read. 

If you think Trump is fervently religious then you also might think that Jerry Sandusky is a great mentor of children too.

Can't argue with that.

I don't know anyone who believes Trump is a practicing Christian.  I don't think he is even a Sunday Christian.  I would wager he has read the bible, or at least parts of it, as have most that profess.  I always struggled with the concept that one's sins are forgiven and redemption.  None of his 'sins' matter because they were 'forgiven.'  But if you truly believe... then why do you continue to live in 'sin?'  Hypocrisy.  God's Grace. Acknowledge imperfections.  Circle of blah.  What you are pointing out is my issue with people overall and a major disappointment with what Christianity could have been.  Because most people are immoral in areas... skeletons in closets... skeltones in public... skeletons celebrated... I imagine people accept Trump's Christianity as not so different from themself.

If the shoe was on the foot of somebody they disagreed with politically, the evangelicals and "moral" right would be howling for blood. You know it and I do too.
